Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Bab**** sends scouts out around the world looking for a new center to hopefully help win the Stanley Cup for Detroit once again.

One of his scouts informs him of a young Iraqi center who he thinks will turn out to be a true superstar. So, Mike flies to Iraq to watch him play and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to the NHL.

Two weeks later, Detroit is down 4-0 at home against Toronto with only 8 minutes left. Mike gives the young Iraqi center the nod to go on, and he puts him on in place of Draper. The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 8 minutes and wins the game for the Red Wings. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star.

When he comes off the ice, he phones his Mom to tell her about his first day in the NHL.

“Hi Mom, guess what?” he says. “I played for 8 minutes today, we were down 4-0 but I scored 5 goals and we won. Everybody loves me; the fans, the players and the media, they all love me”.

“Great,” says his Mom, “let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters, while you were having a great time”. The young lad is very upset.

“What can I say, Mom, I’m so sorry”.

“Sorry!” says his Mom, “It’s your damned fault that we moved to Detroit in the first place!”
